Phame Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 Can't get DP3 to work. I restored the BaseSystem.dmg to a 10GB Partition of my second HDD. I copied the mach_kernel to the Root of my Installer HDD. I deleted the Packages File and copied the Packages Folder to System/Installation. I copied FakeSMC.kext and NullCPUPowerManagement.kext to System/Library/Extensions on the Installer HDD. I booted from the USB Stick with the Chameleon Installer 1890 (worked fine with DP2) and selected my Installer HDD with -v. Then the .kexts load (looks like Matrix) and the last line i could read was "NVDHAL50.kext was loaded and registered" it stops there.After some Seconds the Display justgo Black and nothing happend anymore. The PC doesn't reboot or anything the Display is just Black and the PC is on. What can I do to make DP3 work? DP and DP2 and Lion worked very fine on my System.

Kynyo Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 DP3 it's a total {censored}! It's just my oppinion...DP1 is the one, for the moment! @ DP3 i can't even repair my permissions, it's gives some root errors... EDIT: Solved by downloading another 10.8 DP3 image!

Graphics prob? 2nd part of your question, yes. You made an installer that can boot and now have 100% vanilla install of ML which would only boot in a real mac, same changes you made to usb to make it boot must also be made to final install as well. No clue what changes/kexts are needed based on your hardware description.

eep357 Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 well, sure looks like it's about to boot fine, it might run fsck there which can take a few minutes. If you've waited at least 10min and still see exact same thing, see if any activity light on front of PC as may be running fine but you can't see it cause graphics not loading. If so, having your hardware info posted, preferable in your signature, make it actually possible to help you instead of just asking for your hardware info over and over Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/278340-cant-get-dp3-installation-to-work/#findComment-1825452 Share on other sites More sharing options...
fbifido Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 got ML DP3 up with a little fix. (sorry my enter keys are not working, just install ML Dp3 on another system, with windows 8 RP x64, I am on W8 now, I need to find kext for this system now(@ home)) this is for NVidia video card boot with -v -f -x PciRoot=1 USBBusFix=Yes GraphicsEnabler=Yes select no-network (or not-connected to network) then create username and password then when the safe mode desktop comes up, go to Utility then select Terminal, then type sudo mkdir /ExtraBackup , then sudo mv /S/L/E/NV* /ExtraBackup/ then reboot the system, boot with -v -f PciRoot=1 USBBusFix=Yes Graphics, if the system still will not boot, do the -x as above but this time the second command in terminal will be sudo mv /S/L/E/ATI* /ExtraBackup/ then reboot and remove the -x and try again. After I did the ML DP3 update, you have to remove the NV* kexts from /S/L/E or the system will not boot.
